[net.misc.coke] coke formulae

Nobody has mentioned this before so... (in the last 2 weeks anyway)

Many years ago, soon after Coca-Cola (it wasn't even called Coke then)
started appearing in cans, I read that they used a different formula
for the canned variety than the bottled variety.  Later, after it
started appearing in plastic bottles, I heard that they used yet
another formula for those.  The reason given was various reactions with
the material of the alternative containers.

This was so long ago that I cannot remember the reference.  Also it
was in England.  I have always preferred coke from glass over all
the other packaging forms.
